Review: The latest release from Swedish jazz-techno producer Andreas Saag sounds like he has opened up a connection to the past. That's meant in the most positive manner possible. The title track is redolent of the best bits of late 90s/early 00s San Fran house. Over a loose and lazy dub groove a wide-eyed Rastafarian invokes the spirit of Haile Selassi, while the dub version puts the focus on the rolling rhythm and massive reverb. That's not to suggest that Saag is copying a formula, and "Call of Yacuma" features more distorted dub beats but also some I:Cube-styled jazzy licks. If the past is another country, it sounds like Saag is a proud resident.
